My 8yo daughter wants a tortoise, so like a good dad I am trying to do as much research as possible before we make the commitment. I have had experience as a teen with other reptiles (African fat-tailed gecko, ball python, and iguana), but never tortoises. I want a small tortoise that will be primarily housed indoors (possibly outdoors when it becomes more mature); the most likely candidates are a Greek tortoise or a Russian tortoise. It will be initially be housed in a Zoo Med tortoise house, but I will upgrade when the need comes (hopefully a good father/daughter project). Any suggestions or tips will be appreciated.
